If you often check the active processes running on your smartphone, you may have come across something called com.android.incallui. Alternatively, if you use an Android smartphone, you may see something similar: com.samsung.android.incallui.
You should understand that com.android.incallui and com.samsung.android.incallui are essential apps you can find in the Android OS package. These are not malware, and you should not delete these apps from your device, either.
As you can guess from the name, com.android.incallui is an app built into the Android Operating System. It is responsible for handling the Graphical User Interface that appears when you make or receive a phone call. For easy understanding, Android uses the code incallui for the app.
It translates to the UI within a call on the device. It must also be clear that incallui is an essential part of your smartphone experience, as you still have to rely on phone calls. In short, you would be able to find the com.android.incallui app on almost all devices, but the manufacturers may change the name.
As I mentioned in the introduction, you may see another app name if you use a Samsung smartphone. On these devices, the name of the app will be com.samsung.android.incallui. It must be clear to you that it just contains an additional word in the name: Samsung.
Therefore, com.samsung.android.incallui is the app that handles the in-call user interface on your Samsung smartphones. This app is necessary and will run whenever you receive or make a phone call. Depending on the device, third-party apps like WhatsApp and Skype may also use the incallui app.
Since both these apps contain the word UI, you should understand that the package contains instructions to enable the calling feature. Of course, your phone will have the phone radio, but com.android.incallui, or, in the case of Samsung devices, com.samsung.android.incallui, makes it possible for users to interact with the radio and the OS.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, you would not come across com.android.incallui or its alternative on Samsung devices unless when you are on a call. Even then, unless you have enabled system app visibility in the settings, you may not find these particular names on a list. But you may come across these names if you use a third-party app to monitor your device and the active processes.
No, com.android.incallui is not a virus. Similarly, com.samsung.android.incallui is also not a virus. The case is just the opposite because com.android.incallui is an essential part of your Android smartphone experience. So, you should not commit the mistake of believing that the incallui app is a virus.
Unfortunately, com.android.incallui and com.samsung.android.incallui are not apps that you can simply quit or uninstall. In all fairness, you SHOULD NOT uninstall these apps because they consume a bit of battery or system resources. As I mentioned multiple times, the app is responsible for the in-call interface. So, the lack of the app means you cannot make phone calls as you normally do.
Considering this point, you should be patient if you see that com.android.incallui has been consuming a lot of battery resources. You should also consider whether you were making many phone calls. If there were a few calls, it is normal for the incallui app to function and thus take up plenty of resources. However, if the UI app takes up a lot of space even when your phone is idle, something could be wrong.
To answer the question, you cannot disable com.samsung.android.incallui. Because the app is an essential part of the Android Operating System you cannot remove the app. There could be an option to stop the app temporarily, but the OS will reopen the app quickly enough. Even if the app does not open instantly, it will happen when you receive a phone call.
No, InCallUI apps on your Android smartphone are not used for spying. It is a common myth that this app is responsible for data leaks. On the contrary, com.android.incallui and com.samsung.android.incallui are two of the most trusted apps you can find alongside Android.
I have tried to answer most questions about com.android.incallui and com.samsung.android.incallui. You can use this knowledge to make better decisions when you see that the incallui app is consuming a lot of power or battery resources.
Yes, com.samsung.android.incallui is mostly activated when you get a call. But it can also show up when you start a call because it includes the user interface parts of making calls on Samsung Android devices, such as dialing, receiving, and managing calls that are already going on.
